Steve,

Like Marco Denicolai I am using a high-side-driver (IR2113). Mainly
because of difficulties in getting the cores for the GDT. I want to
shorten the ON and OFF delays because I am working on a small system
which operates at a higher frequency as bigger ones.

Thank you Steve.

Cheers,

Herwig
